## How this service works

AI-synthesized US macroeconomic situation briefing. Gathers 7 real-time signals — HY/IG credit spreads, yield curve (10Y-3M), initial jobless claims, JOLTS openings, core PCE, and Fed Funds rate — from FRED (free, no auth) then uses GPT-4o-mini to synthesize a structured briefing: regime label (expansion/contraction/late-cycle/recovery/uncertain), dominant risk, agent implication, and a 200-word narrative. Replaces a 5+ step data assembly + LLM chain. Priced below Bloomberg macro summaries.

## Output

A concise macro-economic and/or market intelligence brief covering current global economic conditions, market trends, and key macro indicators, returned as structured or text data.
